When the rcu_cpu_started per-CPU variable was added by commit
f64c6013a2 ("rcu/x86: Provide early rcu_cpu_starting() callback"),
there were multiple sets of per-CPU rcu_data structures. Therefore, the
rcu_cpu_started flag was added as a separate per-CPU variable. But now
there is only one set of per-CPU rcu_data structures, so this commit
moves rcu_cpu_started to a new ->cpu_started field in that structure.

The rcu_data structure's ->nocb_timer field is used to defer wakeups of
the corresponding no-CBs CPU's grace-period kthread ("rcuog*"), and that
structure's ->nocb_defer_wakeup field is used to track such deferral.
This means that the show_rcu_nocb_state() printing an error when those
fields are set for a CPU not corresponding to a no-CBs grace-period
kthread is erroneous.
This commit therefore switches the check from ->nocb_timer to
->nocb_bypass_timer and removes the check of ->nocb_defer_wakeup.

Originally, the call to rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() from
force_qs_rnp() had to be conditioned on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, as in
commit a77da14ce9 ("rcu: Yet another fix for preemption and CPU
hotplug"). However, there is now a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n definition of
rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() that unconditionally returns zero, so
invoking it is now safe. In addition, the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n definition
of rcu_initiate_boost() simply releases the rcu_node structure's ->lock,
which is what happens when the "if" condition evaluates to false.
This commit therefore drops the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) check,
so that rcu_initiate_boost() is called only in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
kernels when there are readers blocking the current grace period.
This does not change the behavior, but reduces code-reader confusion by
eliminating non-CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y calls to rcu_initiate_boost().

On callback overload, it is necessary to quickly detect idle CPUs,
and rcu_gp_fqs_check_wake() checks for this condition. Unfortunately,
the code following the call to this function does not repeat this check,
which means that in reality no actual quiescent-state forcing, instead
only a couple of quick and pointless wakeups at the beginning of the
grace period.
This commit therefore adds a check for the RCU_GP_FLAG_OVLD flag in
the post-wakeup "if" statement in rcu_gp_fqs_loop().

Patch series "kasan: memorize and print call_rcu stack", v8.
This patchset improves KASAN reports by making them to have call_rcu()
call stack information. It is useful for programmers to solve
use-after-free or double-free memory issue.
The KASAN report was as follows(cleaned up slightly):
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in kasan_rcu_reclaim+0x58/0x60
Freed by task 0:
kasan_save_stack+0x24/0x50

Generic KASAN will record the last two call_rcu() call stacks and print up
to 2 call_rcu() call stacks in KASAN report. it is only suitable for
generic KASAN.
This feature considers the size of struct kasan_alloc_meta and
kasan_free_meta, we try to optimize the structure layout and size, lets it
get better memory consumption.

The three APIs for non-scheduler code to set SCHED_FIFO are:

- sched_set_normal()
These are two FIFO priority levels: default (high), and a 'low' priority level,
plus sched_set_normal() to set the policy back to non-SCHED_FIFO.
Since the changes affect a lot of non-scheduler code, we kept this in a separate

which can be resolved via:

SRCU disables interrupts to get a stable per-CPU pointer and then
acquires the spinlock which is in the per-CPU data structure. The
release uses spin_unlock_irqrestore(). While this is correct on a non-RT
kernel, this conflicts with the RT semantics because the spinlock is
converted to a 'sleeping' spinlock. Sleeping locks can obviously not be
acquired with interrupts disabled.
Acquire the per-CPU pointer `ssp->sda' without disabling preemption and
then acquire the spinlock_t of the per-CPU data structure. The lock will
ensure that the data is consistent.
The added call to check_init_srcu_struct() is now needed because a
statically defined srcu_struct may remain uninitialized until this
point and the newly introduced locking operation requires an initialized
spinlock_t.
This change was tested for four hours with 8*SRCU-N and 8*SRCU-P without
causing any warnings.

Currently, readers are awakened individually. On most systems, this
results in significant wakeup delay from one reader to the next, which
can result in the first and last reader having sole access to the
synchronization primitive in question. If that synchronization primitive
involves shared memory, those readers will rack up a huge number of
operations in a very short time, causing large perturbations in the
results.
This commit therefore has the readers busy-wait after being awakened,

Current runs show PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs
consuming between 20 and 30 nanoseconds, when in fact the actual value is
zero, give or take the barrier() asm's effect on compiler optimizations.
The additional overhead is caused by function calls through pointers
(especially in these days of Spectre mitigations) and perhaps also
needless argument passing, a non-const loop limit, and an upcounting loop.
This commit therefore combines the ->readlock() and ->readunlock()
function pointers into a single ->readsection() function pointer that
takes the loop count as a const parameter and keeps any data passed
from the read-lock to the read-unlock internal to this new function.
These changes reduce the measured overhead of the aforementioned
PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs from between 20 and
30 nanoseconds to somewhere south of 500 picoseconds.

This commit adds an rcuperf module parameter named "holdoff" that
defaults to 10 seconds if refperf is built in and to zero otherwise.
The assumption is that all the CPUs are online by the time that the
modprobe and insmod commands are going to do anything, and that normal
systems will have all the CPUs online within ten seconds.
Larger systems may take many tens of seconds or even minutes to get
to this point, hence this being a module parameter instead of being a
hard-coded constant.

This commit adds comments explaining why the readers have otherwise insane

Add a test for comparing the performance of RCU with various read-side
synchronization mechanisms. The test has proved useful for collecting
data and performing these comparisons.
Currently RCU, SRCU, reader-writer lock, reader-writer semaphore and
reference counting can be measured using refperf.perf_type parameter.
Each invocation of the test runs measures performance of a specific
mechanism.
The maximum number of CPUs to concurrently run readers on is chosen by
the test itself and is 75% of the total number of CPUs. So if you had 24
CPUs, the test runs with a maximum of 18 parallel readers.
A number of experiments are conducted, and in each experiment, the
number of readers is increased by 1, upto the 75% of CPUs mark. During
each experiment, all readers execute an empty loop with refperf.loops
iterations and time the total loop duration. This is then averaged.
Example output:
Parameters "refperf.perf_type=srcu refperf.loops=2000000" looks like:
[ 3.347133] srcu-ref-perf:
[ 3.347133] Threads Time(ns)

Update the kvfree_call_rcu() function with head-less support.
This allows RCU to reclaim objects without an embedded rcu_head.
tree-RCU:
We introduce two chains of arrays to store SLAB-backed and vmalloc
pointers, each. Storage in either of these arrays does not require
embedding an rcu_head within the object.
Maintaining the arrays may become impossible due to high memory
pressure. For such cases there is an emergency path. Objects with
rcu_head inside are just queued on a backup rcu_head list. Later on
that list is drained. As for the head-less variant, as the current
context can sleep, the following emergency measures are applied:
a) Synchronously wait until a grace period has elapsed.
b) Call kvfree().
tiny-RCU:
For double argument calls, there are no new changes in behavior. For
single argument call, kvfree() is directly inlined on the current
stack after a synchronize_rcu() call. Note that for tiny-RCU, any
call to synchronize_rcu() is actually a quiescent state, therefore
it does nothing.

The following changes are introduced:
1. Rename rcu_invoke_kfree_callback() to rcu_invoke_kvfree_callback(),
as well as the associated trace events, so the rcu_kfree_callback(),
becomes rcu_kvfree_callback(). The reason is to be aligned with kvfree()
notation.
2. Rename __is_kfree_rcu_offset to __is_kvfree_rcu_offset. All RCU
paths use kvfree() now instead of kfree(), thus rename it.
3. Rename kfree_call_rcu() to the kvfree_call_rcu(). The reason is,
it is capable of freeing vmalloc() memory now. Do the same with
__kfree_rcu() macro, it becomes __kvfree_rcu(), the goal is the
same.

To do so, we use an array of kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures.
It consists of two elements:
- index number 0 corresponds to slab pointers.
- index number 1 corresponds to vmalloc pointers.
Keeping vmalloc pointers separated from slab pointers makes
it possible to invoke the right freeing API for the right
kind of pointer.
It also prepares us for future headless support for vmalloc
and SLAB objects. Such objects cannot be queued on a linked
list and are instead directly into an array.

In order to reduce the dynamic need for pages in kfree_rcu(),
pre-allocate a configurable number of pages per CPU and link
them in a list. When kfree_rcu() reclaims objects, the object's
container page is cached into a list instead of being released
to the low-level page allocator.
Such an approach provides O(1) access to free pages while also
reducing the number of requests to the page allocator. It also
makes the kfree_rcu() code to have free pages available during
a low memory condition.
A read-only sysfs parameter (rcu_min_cached_objs) reflects the
minimum number of allowed cached pages per CPU.

The per-CPU variable is initialized at runtime in
kfree_rcu_batch_init(). This function is invoked before
'rcu_scheduler_active' is set to 'RCU_SCHEDULER_RUNNING'.
After the initialisation, '->initialized' is to true.
The raw_spin_lock is only acquired if '->initialized' is
set to true. The worqueue item is only used if 'rcu_scheduler_active'
set to RCU_SCHEDULER_RUNNING which happens after initialisation.
Use a static initializer for krc.lock and remove the runtime
initialisation of the lock. Since the lock can now be always
acquired, remove the '->initialized' check.

To keep the kfree_rcu() code working in purely atomic sections on RT,
such as non-threaded IRQ handlers and raw spinlock sections, avoid
calling into the page allocator which uses sleeping locks on RT.
In fact, even if the caller is preemptible, the kfree_rcu() code is
not, as the krcp->lock is a raw spinlock.
Calling into the page allocator is optional and avoiding it should be
Ok, especially with the page pre-allocation support in future patches.
Such pre-allocation would further avoid the a need for a dynamically
allocated page in the first place.

On PREEMPT_RT kernels, the krcp spinlock gets converted to an rt-mutex
and causes kfree_rcu() callers to sleep. This makes it unusable for
callers in purely atomic sections such as non-threaded IRQ handlers and
raw spinlock sections. Fix it by converting the spinlock to a raw
spinlock.
Vetting all code paths, there is no reason to believe that the raw
spinlock will hurt RT latencies as it is not held for a long time.

There will likely be exception handlers that can sleep, which rules
out the usual approach of invoking rcu_nmi_enter() on entry and also
rcu_nmi_exit() on all exit paths. However, the alternative approach of
just not calling anything can prevent RCU from coaxing quiescent states
from nohz_full CPUs that are looping in the kernel: RCU must instead
IPI them explicitly. It would be better to enable the scheduler tick
on such CPUs to interact with RCU in a lighter-weight manner, and this
enabling is one of the things that rcu_nmi_enter() currently does.
What is needed is something that helps RCU coax quiescent states while
not preventing subsequent sleeps. This commit therefore splits out the
nohz_full scheduler-tick enabling from the rest of the rcu_nmi_enter()
logic into a new function named rcu_irq_enter_check_tick().

This is useful for non-preemptible code especially in the low level entry

Interrupts and exceptions invoke rcu_irq_enter() on entry and need to
invoke rcu_irq_exit() before they either return to the interrupted code or
invoke the scheduler due to preemption.
The general assumption is that RCU idle code has to have preemption
disabled so that a return from interrupt cannot schedule. So the return
from interrupt code invokes rcu_irq_exit() and preempt_schedule_irq().
If there is any imbalance in the rcu_irq/nmi* invocations or RCU idle code
had preemption enabled then this goes unnoticed until the CPU goes idle or
some other RCU check is executed.
Provide rcu_irq_exit_preempt() which can be invoked from the
interrupt/exception return code in case that preemption is enabled. It
invokes rcu_irq_exit() and contains a few sanity checks in case that
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled to catch such issues directly.

The rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() functions take an
"irq" parameter that indicates whether these functions have been invoked from
an irq handler (irq==true) or an NMI handler (irq==false).
However, recent changes have applied notrace to a few critical functions
such that rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() many now rely on
in_nmi(). Note that in_nmi() works no differently than before, but rather
that tracing is now prohibited in code regions where in_nmi() would
incorrectly report NMI state.
Therefore remove the "irq" parameter and inline rcu_nmi_enter_common() and

Systems running CPU-bound real-time task do not want IPIs sent to CPUs
executing nohz_full userspace tasks. Battery-powered systems don't
want IPIs sent to idle CPUs in low-power mode. Unfortunately, RCU tasks
trace can and will send such IPIs in some cases.
Both of these situations occur only when the target CPU is in RCU
dyntick-idle mode, in other words, when RCU is not watching the
target CPU. This suggests that CPUs in dyntick-idle mode should use
memory barriers in outermost invocations of rcu_read_lock_trace()
and rcu_read_unlock_trace(), which would allow the RCU tasks trace
grace period to directly read out the target CPU's read-side state.
One challenge is that RCU tasks trace is not targeting a specific
CPU, but rather a task. And that task could switch from one CPU to
another at any time.
This commit therefore uses try_invoke_on_locked_down_task()
and checks for task_curr() in trc_inspect_reader_notrunning().
When this condition holds, the target task is running and cannot move.
If CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, the new rcu_dynticks_zero_in_eqs()
function can be used to check if the specified integer (in this case,
t->trc_reader_nesting) is zero while the target CPU remains in that same
dyntick-idle sojourn. If so, the target task is in a quiescent state.
If not, trc_read_check_handler() must indicate failure so that the
grace-period kthread can take appropriate action or retry after an
appropriate delay, as the case may be.
With this change, given CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, if a given
CPU remains idle or a given task continues executing in nohz_full mode,
the RCU tasks trace grace-period kthread will detect this without the
need to send an IPI.

Because RCU does not watch exception early-entry/late-exit, idle-loop,
or CPU-hotplug execution, protection of tracing and BPF operations is
needlessly complicated. This commit therefore adds a variant of
Tasks RCU that:
o Has explicit read-side markers to allow finite grace periods in
the face of in-kernel loops for PREEMPT=n builds. These markers
are rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace().
o Protects code in the idle loop, exception entry/exit, and
CPU-hotplug code paths. In this respect, RCU-tasks trace is
similar to SRCU, but with lighter-weight readers.
o Avoids expensive read-side instruction, having overhead similar
to that of Preemptible RCU.
There are of course downsides:
o The grace-period code can send IPIs to CPUs, even when those
CPUs are in the idle loop or in nohz_full userspace. This is
mitigated by later commits.
o It is necessary to scan the full tasklist, much as for Tasks RCU.
o There is a single callback queue guarded by a single lock,
again, much as for Tasks RCU. However, those early use cases
that request multiple grace periods in quick succession are
expected to do so from a single task, which makes the single
lock almost irrelevant. If needed, multiple callback queues
can be provided using any number of schemes.
Perhaps most important, this variant of RCU does not affect the vanilla
flavors, rcu_preempt and rcu_sched. The fact that RCU Tasks Trace
readers can operate from idle, offline, and exception entry/exit in no
way enables rcu_preempt and rcu_sched readers to do so.

The scheduler is currently required to hold rq/pi locks across the entire
RCU read-side critical section or not at all. This is inconvenient and
leaves traps for the unwary, including the author of this commit.
But now that excessively long grace periods enable scheduling-clock
interrupts for holdout nohz_full CPUs, the nohz_full rescue logic in
rcu_read_unlock_special() can be dispensed with. In other words, the
rcu_read_unlock_special() function can refrain from doing wakeups unless
such wakeups are guaranteed safe.
This commit therefore avoids unsafe wakeups, freeing the scheduler to
hold rq/pi locks across rcu_read_unlock() even if the corresponding RCU
read-side critical section might have been preempted. This commit also
updates RCU's requirements documentation.

This commit adds rcu_gp_might_be_stalled(), which returns true if there
is some reason to believe that the RCU grace period is stalled. The use
case is where an RCU free-memory path needs to allocate memory in order
to free it, a situation that should be avoided where possible.
But where it is necessary, there is always the alternative of using
synchronize_rcu() to wait for a grace period in order to avoid the
allocation. And if the grace period is stalled, allocating memory to
asynchronously wait for it is a bad idea of epic proportions: Far better
to let others use the memory, because these others might actually be
able to free that memory before the grace period ends.
Thus, rcu_gp_might_be_stalled() can be used to help decide whether
allocating memory on an RCU free path is a semi-reasonable course
of action.

We can relax the correctness of counting of number of queued objects in
favor of not hurting performance, by locklessly sampling per-cpu
counters. This should be Ok since under high memory pressure, it should not
matter if we are off by a few objects while counting. The shrinker will
still do the reclaim.

To reduce grace periods and improve kfree() performance, we have done
batching recently dramatically bringing down the number of grace periods
while giving us the ability to use kfree_bulk() for efficient kfree'ing.
However, this has increased the likelihood of OOM condition under heavy
kfree_rcu() flood on small memory systems. This patch introduces a
shrinker which starts grace periods right away if the system is under
memory pressure due to existence of objects that have still not started
a grace period.
With this patch, I do not observe an OOM anymore on a system with 512MB
RAM and 8 CPUs, with the following rcuperf options:
rcuperf.kfree_loops=20000 rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num=8000
rcuperf.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuperf.kfree_mult=2
Otherwise it easily OOMs with the above parameters.
NOTE:
1. On systems with no memory pressure, the patch has no effect as intended.
2. In the future, we can use this same mechanism to prevent grace periods
from happening even more, by relying on shrinkers carefully.

It is possible that an over-long grace period will end while the RCU
CPU stall warning message is printing. In this case, the estimate of
the offending grace period's duration can be erroneous due to refetching
of rcu_state.gp_start, which will now be the time of the newly started
grace period. Computation of this duration clearly needs to use the
start time for the old over-long grace period, not the fresh new one.

The rcu_nmi_enter_common() function can be invoked both in interrupt

to userspace or idle context) on a nohz_full CPU, it might acquire the
CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock. Because this lock is held only
with interrupts disabled, this is safe from an interrupt handler, but
doing so from an NMI handler can result in self-deadlock.

acquire the ->lock from irq handlers or process context, never from

Currently, rcu_barrier() ignores offline CPUs, However, it is possible
for an offline no-CBs CPU to have callbacks queued, and rcu_barrier()
must wait for those callbacks. This commit therefore makes rcu_barrier()
directly invoke the rcu_barrier_func() with interrupts disabled for such
CPUs. This requires passing the CPU number into this function so that
it can entrain the rcu_barrier() callback onto the correct CPU's callback
list, given that the code must instead execute on the current CPU.
While in the area, this commit fixes a bug where the first CPU's callback
might have been invoked before rcu_segcblist_entrain() returned, which
would also result in an early wakeup.

Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context.
The current wait-types are:
LD_WAIT_FREE, /* wait free, rcu etc.. */
LD_WAIT_SPIN, /* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */
LD_WAIT_CONFIG, /* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */
LD_WAIT_SLEEP, /* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */
Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired)
fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack).
This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding
spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In
other words, its a more fancy might_sleep().
Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single
value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and
while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it
got acquired in.
Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one
representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context
(inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same.
[ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that:
.outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ]
It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held
stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal'
RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already
holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules.
Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code:
raw_spin_lock(&foo);
spin_lock(&bar);
spin_unlock(&bar);
raw_spin_unlock(&foo);
[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
-----------------------------
swapper/0/1 is trying to lock:
ffffc90000013f20 (&bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by swapper/0/1:
#0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187
The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock
description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to
the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}.
This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than
presented by the lock stack.
Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the
lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions
can be done when desired.
The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate
config option for now as there are known problems which are currently
addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to
verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them.
The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled
once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.

Currently, if rcu_barrier() returns too soon, the test waits 100ms and
then does another instance of the test. However, if rcu_barrier() were
to have waited for more than 100ms too short a time, this could cause
the test's rcu_head structures to be reused while they were still on
RCU's callback lists. This can result in knock-on errors that obscure
the original rcu_barrier() test failure.
This commit therefore adds code that attempts to wait until all of
the test's callbacks have been invoked. Of course, if RCU completely
lost track of the corresponding rcu_head structures, this wait could be
forever. This commit therefore also complains if this attempted recovery
takes more than one second, and it also gives up when the test ends.

Additional rcutorture aggression can result in, believe it or not,
boot times in excess of three minutes on large hyperthreaded systems.
This is long enough for rcutorture to decide to do some callback flooding,
which seems a bit excessive given that userspace cannot have started
until long after boot, and it is userspace that does the real-world
callback flooding. Worse yet, because Tiny RCU lacks forward-progress
functionality, the looping-in-the-kernel tests can also be problematic
during early boot.
This commit therefore causes rcutorture to hold off on callback
flooding until about the time that init is spawned, and the same
